Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control related to our transition and acquisition by SAIC,
we were unable to secure a location and acceptable date in a timely manner for 2019. Team JRE
will be revisiting the JOWG planning for 2020 in June of this year. Once we solidify the JWOG 2020
dates we will send out invites to all JRE users.

I would like to personally invite you to attend the 2018 JRE Operator's Working Group. This year’s
working group will focus on how JRE’s current and future capabilities will enable the Warfighter
to improve mission execution. Attendees will share their real-world experiences using JRE. Our
SMEs will demonstrate the latest JRE software and equipment.

The Training Day will take place on 30 October 2017. Details of the courses can be found in
the Training Day section of the website. Thank you to the Corporate members who have submitted
their proposals which are now being reviewed. Bronze, Bronze Plus, Silver and Gold packages are
available at IDLS2017. These packages include paid delegate registration, hotel rooms and
promotional opportunities.

The JRE Team is thrilled with the recent success onboard the Australian C-130J where the JRE
solution was selected by The Commonwealth of Australia and Airbus to be the Host system / Tactical
Data Link system for the Commonwealth’s major air platform. The JRE systems were installed on the
certified CMC TacView™ flight computers and laptops then integrated into the cockpit, loadmaster,
and flight deck stations.

Exchanging real-time tactical information provides joint and coalition forces with a clear view of
the battlespace and the situational awareness needed for mission success. However, Joint Forces
face a challenge in modernizing key assets with essential 21st-century communication capabilities
in the face of shrinking budgets.

Our team of engineers, management, and Subject Matter Experts are available to the JRE users
24 / 7. Utilized not only across every branch of the US Military and Coast Guard, the JRE provides
the backbone to critical infrastructure such as the Homeland Defense Network. As partnering
countries adopt the JRE they are identifying the JRE as the gateway of choice due to the ease of
training, fullest set of message implementation, superior capability, and ease of integration into
existing architectures.

The 2011 Military Communications and Information Systems (MilCIS) conference was held in Canberra,
Australia, during November. The MilCIS conference is the premier gathering of defense and
government organizations, as well as research, academia and industry members from Australia and
around the globe. Its aim is to facilitate ongoing discussion of current and future defense
requirements, capabilities and technological solutions.

An opportunity for all level of users to come together, the JRE Operations User Group Meeting
brings together Joint Interface Control Officers, SPO representatives, system operators and
maintainers as well as data link planners in order to present technical and tactical employment
briefings. This year's conference will have more discussion, more networking time and more time
for hands-on demos and display of new equipment and capabilities.

The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) selected the Joint Tactical Information
Distribution System (JTIDS) and the Tactical Digital Information Link J (TADIL J), also known as
Link 16, as the primary terrestrial data link in support of Theater Missile Defense (TMD).
Subsequent to that decision, BMDO and the Services developed a new set of TADIL J messages to
support TMD communication requirements via JTIDS.

The Australian Defense Simulation and Training Center (ADSTC), and Calytrix as its Prime
contractor, developed and delivered the Australian Defence Force’s largest and most complex
simulation supported exercise to date: Exercise Vital Prospect 2014 (VP14). Calytrix had over 30
staff supporting the exercise at Enoggera Army Base in Brisbane and at the ADSTC facility in
Canberra.
